Castle Pines CO Homes For Sale

Castle Pines, Colorado is now known as Castle Pines North. The change of name was the result of incorporation, which occurred in November of 2007. The city is actually a subdivision of Castle Rock, Colorado, but it is so large that it is treated as if it were a city. Castle Pines is in turn broken into two distinct areas: Castle Pines North, and Castle Pines Village.

The area covers about 4 square miles (2,440 acres) and is roughly bounded by Interstate 25 to the east, Daniels Park and open space to both the west and north and the unincorporated section of Castle Pines South to the south.

Castle Pines Village is distinguished as a gated golf community. Its magnificent Jack Nicklaus Signature Championship Golf Course is known as “The International.” Located at the Country Club at Castle Pines, the 7,400-yard course is actually woven into the natural contours of the land, through forest, alterations in elevation and rugged mountain terrain. Beginners and low handicap players alike enjoy both the spectacular scenery and the game.

Designed by Nicklaus, the 18-hole golf course is distinguished by the fact that no two holes run parallel to each other. In his own words:

"The Country Club at Castle Pines is an absolutely beautiful course with all its vistas. A person can play The Country Club and feel he’s had a great time no matter what his score, simply because of the views.”

Castle Pines North has many pine trees as one might expect from its name, but it also abounds with other lush and colorful flora. The area is attractive to young and old alike with its wide-open spaces and staggeringly beautiful vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see. The outside world seems far away after a stay in Castle Pines North.
